This section describes how to configure general connection properties. For an explanation of how to configure advanced connection properties, see Setting advanced connection properties.

To add an IBM IMS source endpoint to Qlik Replicate:

1. In Tasks view, click Manage Endpoint Connections to open the Manage Endpoints Connections dialog box. Then click the New Endpoint Connection button.
2. In the Name field, type a name for your database. This can be any name that will help to identify the database being used.
3. In the Description field, type a description that helps to identify the IBM IMS database. This is optional.

4. Select Source as the database role.

5. Select IBM IMS as the database Type.

   Information note

   When this endpoint is used as a duplicated source in a Log Stream Staging setup, select the Read changes from log stream staging folder check box and then select the relevant Log Stream Staging task from the drop-down list.

   For information on setting up and managing Log Stream Staging tasks, see Using the Log Stream.
